Application filed September 3, 1927. Serial No. 217,385.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements 'in ventilating systems for theatres, auditoriums and other buildings and hasmore particular reference means whereby cold air is forced to circulate throughout the entire interior of the building w1th the end in view of having a large attendance withinthe theatre, audltormm or the like in warm weather.

. A most important object of the present invention is to provide such a cooling system that may be installed during or after the construction of the buildin and this without "great expenditure and w erein the device through certain structural features of the system.

Figure 3 is a horizontal section through the water cooling chamber taken substantially upon the line 3-3 of E1 e 2.-

F1gur'e 4 is a (perspective of t e water dis charge pipe, an

Fi re 5 is a fra entary perspective partially in cross sect l ii of a water collecting trou h that comprises an essential feature of t e invention. I

Now having particular reference to the drawings A designates a theatre, auditorium or the like constructed to provide the usual orchestra B, balcony G and stage D.

Furthermore, the building 1s so constructed as to provide inback of the balcony C a roomE within which the main structural there is arran units of the present cooling system is disposed In carrying out the present invention horizontally between the outer'wall of t e building and the inner wall .of the room E an air pipe 5, the inner end of the water will flow in a which is bent upwardly within the balcony area toprovide a discharge nozzle 6. As clearly disclosed in Figure 1 this pipe 5 has communication with the atmosphere at the exterior of the building. Arranged verticaL ly within this pipe 5 is an air deflecting drill 7 consisting of s aced horizontally arranged vanes that are s ightly inclined in a transverse direction to cause the air to flow in an upward direction. Arran ed within this plpe 5 at the lower end of the nozzle 6. is an electrically operated fan 8 that serves to suck the air into the pipe and to discharge the same through the nozzle 6.

Located withm the room E is a water cooling chamber 9 preferably consisting of a receptacle having a removable lid 10 and within which is to be dis osed a quantit of ice or othercooling medium 11. Furt ermore within this container is a'water coil 12 that extends through -the container and that has communication at its upper end with atransversely extending trough .13 formed integrally with the bottom wall of the horizontal air inlet pipe 5.. This coil communicates at its lower end with an electrically operated so circulating pump14 the exhaust of which Y has communication with a horizontally arranged water discharge pipe 15 within the ipe 5 directly above the trough 13, and this t rough the medium of a connecting, pipe 16..

Obviously during the operation of the device there will be a continuous flow of water from the coil into the pipe 5 the water being discharged from small openings in the bottom of the horizontal pipe 15 whereby 9o lurality of streams. through which the air is sucked by reason of thefan 8 whereupon the same will become chilled before beinginjected into the interior of the building. The water flowing from the pipe 15 will be caught in the trough 13 and thence led into the coil 12 whereupon it will again be chilled.

It is to be understood that I'do not desire to be limited to the specific structural fea- 10o tures, nor to any particular manner of chill-' ing the water as chan es may be made therein without afiecting t e spirit and scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what with the interior of the building, a con- I claim as new and desire to secure by Letstricted nozzle at the inner end of the pipe, ters Patent is said nozzle being disposed inclinedly toward 10 In a ventilating device for buildin s, an the roof, and a suction fan at the lower end 5 air pipe arranged through a", wall of a huildof said nozzle.
